HelixToolkit.Wpf 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown

Hello.
Sometimes i tried to add a Mesh3D to the Mesh property of a MeshVisual3D, I get this exception:
'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown'

The code

            MeshGeometry3D modeltodraw = new MeshGeometry3D();
            // fill modeltodraw 
            var originalMesh = new Mesh3D(modeltodraw.Positions, modeltodraw.TriangleIndices);
            var bounds = originalMesh.GetBounds();
            var l = Math.Max(bounds.Size.X, Math.Max(bounds.Size.Y, bounds.Size.Z));
            model1.Mesh = null;
            try
            {
                model1.Mesh = originalMesh;
            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show( ex.Message);
            }

The Mesh3D seems to be a little bit huge :

Edges Count = 125631
Faces Count = 612956
Vertices Count = 125631

Any idea why i got this exception

Best Regards,

I haven't used MeshVisual3D yet but I think it creates a geometry from your mesh. The geometry is made with cylinders and spheres for the vertices and edges. So each edge/vertex converts into several (maybe 10-50 times more complex). So I think it's normal for you to get that exception as your computer can't handle it.

If you really need to see your mesh I recommend LinesVisual3D. It's not the best but you will be able to see your huge mesh with that. Good luck

Thanks for your reply, but did you know how to create mesh from Positions and TriangleIndices using LinesVisual3D .

@Moez_rebai,

Do you run Anvir, or even Task Manager to see which resources are expended? I think there is a memory debugger built into VS I read about, but never used. I use the threading one all the time, though. I think you can 'profile' your app, and it will show you over time how it is performing.

Check out the "ANALYZE" pull-down menu in VS, too!
